The Moscow sex ad mag, Flirt, keeps educating its readership on fine points of international politics. “Who needs WW3?” asks the cover of Issue 69, the answer hidden from view on pp. 2-3 but probably some variation of “AmeriKKKa”. The latest issue cuts thought to the heart of current affairs with “Project Anti-Russia: did the Holodomor really happen?”

The answer takes a whole double spread, a lot of revenue lost. But if that’s the price of the magazine’s continued existence – in the land of Yelena Mizulina – I wouldn’t be so surprised.
